13. Maintenance/cleaning

13.1. Maintenance

 Repairs are required when the handheld radio transceiver set has been damaged in any way, such as
when liquid has entered the product, the product has been exposed to rain or moisture, the product
does not work normally or the product has been dropped.
Solution
 Press and hold the On/Off button [5] for at least three seconds.
 Charge the batteries of your handheld radio transceiver or insert new
batteries.
 Set both radio transceivers to the same channel and if applicable the
same CTCSS or DCS code.
 Press and hold the PTT button [12] fully down while speaking.
 If there is interference in the transmission, switch to a different channel.
 The range depends on the environment. Steel constructions, concrete
buildings or use of the unit in a vehicle may reduce the range. If
possible, try moving to a place where you have free sight to the
receiving station.
 Move away from any electromagnetic sources (high-voltage power
lines, machines with electric motors, etc.).
 The sending and receiving units are placed too close together. Keep at
least 1.5 m between the two units.
 Try to see if the communication quality is better on a different channel.
